Is this really what happened? The post from the conference chairs is extremely confusing. Maybe my confusion is because I've never published in a conference with reciprocal reviewers and if I had this experience maybe the post would be very clear.

In any case, I had reached the same interpretation before reading your post, thinking that this is the only interpretation that could make any sense, but I'm still not convinced that this is what happened. Hopefully, no "innocent authors' articles were rejected because they happened to go to a bad reviewer".

One thing that I find very interesting is that in the past year Apple marketed new iPhones mostly through its supposed AI features while consumers in two major markets (EU and China) can’t use these features. It appears like Apple hastily tried to jump on the AI bandwagon without having a real strategy.

I remember this from the classic Mac OS days (i.e. System 7) circa 1994. It’s probably even older than that.

OneNote is not bad. However, there is no way to export your notes from it and move them to another program. At least with Evernote I was able to export all my notes very easily and then import them to Bear.app.

> Remember when Linux and open source were paragons of security? Man, how times have changed....

I remember a time when Linux was a paragon of security compared to the corresponding Windows version, Windows 95. I do not remember a time when Linux had no vulnerabilities. What happened is not that Linux got worse but that Windows got much better.

> Similarly, TeX installation is hard [...]

Installing MacTeX has always been one of the most straightforward things I can imagine.

Check Bear app for how to deal with links in the editor.

I am not aware of an extension doing this. I wrote some elisp for doing this a few years back.

I've downloaded the beta and played for 5 minutes. First remarks and thoughts:

- When the realtime typesetting works it is impressive. For example, changing the coordinates in a tikz picture results in almost immediate change of the PDF. And command / environment auto-completion is very smooth, very well done.

- However, the typesetter can get stuck and this happened for me in the first try. I am aware it is only the first public beta so I guess things will improve.

- Please, oh please, can any specialized TeX editor reproduce the following feature I have setup in Emacs? In the editor (not live preview) display standard mathematical symbols as symbols and not as commands. For example, make \alpha appear as α or \int appear as ∫. This is so nice that I hesitate moving to other tex editors because I know I will miss it.

That’s not at all what the article claims. It presents a hypothetical scenario, based on real SAT average scores, where somebody can reach a very wrong conclusion (teacher unions are bad) based on this data. Then the article proceeds to explain how the difference in the average scores can be attributed to self-selection among students who take the SAT rather than unions. So, the article not only remarks on the suspicious causality but the suspicious causality is the article’s main point.

Two things. First, it is really troubling if Apple wants to impose a tax on transactions between app users. Tipping is used often in China (for example, in the form of "red envelopes" at Chinese New Year) and a 30% cut for Apple is simply incomprehensible and downright immoral. Second, the day that WeChat gets out of the App Store is the day that Apple becomes irrelevant in China. If the story is true, I am afraid somebody at Apple has not thought this thing through.

Yes, despite all the problems in C++ it's just a much better language than C for defining new types that are on par with "native types". std::vector has so many benefits over any possible C implementation that there is no real comparison. Genericity is one, no need to remember to free after use is another.

By the way, why is this C implementation something that requires C99 or C11 features? It looked just like standard old-fashioned ANSI C to me.
